Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex B hereto.

A. Purchaser desires to purchase 8,020,028 shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $.001 per share (“PUBCO Stock”), of SMSA Kerrville Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“PUBCO”). The Shares will constitute 80.0% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PUBCO on a fully diluted basis as of and immediately after the Closing.
B. PUBCO is a party to this Agreement solely for the purpose of making the representations and warranties found in Article III of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Purchase of Shares
1.1. Share Purchase. At the Closing, Purchaser shall remit the amount of $360,000 (the “Purchase Price”) to Seller and Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser the Shares.
1.2. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) shall take place at the offices of Seller on September 1, 2012 or upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (other than conditions with respect to actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).The seller also agrees to a 15 day extension to work with JCPS in the case of unforeseen delays in receiving the final wire.
ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller and PUBCO as follows.
2.1. Power and Authority. The Purchaser has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. All acts required to be taken by the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.2. No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require the consent of any third party or Governmental Entity under any Laws; (b) will not violate any Laws applicable to the Purchaser; and (c) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Purchaser is a party.
2.3. Litigation. There is no pending proceeding against the Purchaser that involves the Shares or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, no such proceeding has been threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such proceeding.
2.4. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares proposed to be acquired hereunder for investment for its own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Shares, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.
2.5. Available Information. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in PUBCO and has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the PUBCO Stock.
2.6. Non-Registration. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the Shares in accordance with PUBCO’s charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
2.7. Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Purchaser pursuant hereto, the Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
2.8. Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Purchaser was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3
2.9. Legends. It is understood that the Shares will bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
2.10. Additional Legend. Additionally, the Shares will bear any legend required by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.
2.11. Disclosure. This Agreement, the schedules hereto and any certificate attached hereto, if any, or delivered in accordance with the terms hereof by or on behalf of the Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, when taken together, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and/or therein not misleading.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of Seller and PUBCO
Seller and PUBCO jointly represent and warrant as follows to the Purchaser.
3.1. Organization, Standing and Power. PUBCO is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has full corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on PUBCO, a material adverse effect on the ability of PUBCO to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of PUBCO to consummate the Transactions (a “PUBCO Material Adverse Effect”). PUBCO is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect.

3.2. Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. PUBCO does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, Purchasership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any person.
3.3. Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of PUBCO consists of 100 million shares of common stock. As of the date hereof (a) 10,025,034 shares of PUBCO’s common stock are issued and outstanding, (b) no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding, and (c) no shares of PUBCO’s common stock or preferred stock are held by PUBCO in its treasury. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of PUBCO were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of PUBCO are, and all such shares that may be issued prior to the date hereof will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to or issued in violation of any purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right under any provision of the Nevada General Corporation Law, the PUBCO Charter, or any Contract to which PUBCO is a party or otherwise bound. There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of PUBCO having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of PUBCO’s common stock may vote (“Voting PUBCO Debt”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which PUBCO is a party or by which it is bound (a) obligating PUBCO to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, PUBCO or any Voting PUBCO Debt, (b) obligating PUBCO to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (c) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the capital stock of PUBCO. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of PUBCO to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of PUBCO. The stockholder list provided to Purchasers or its counsel is a current stockholder list generated by its stock transfer agent, and such list accurately reflects all of the issued and outstanding shares of the PUBCO’s common stock.
3.4. Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by Seller and PUBCO of this Agreement and the consummation by Seller and PUBCO of the Transactions have been duly authorized and approved and no other corporate proceedings on the part of PUBCO are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and PUBCO, enforceable against each of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
3.5. No Conflicts; Consents.
(a) The execution and delivery by Seller and PUBCO of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, contravene, conflict with or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any person under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of either Seller or PUBCO under, any provision of (i) the PUBCO Charter, (ii) any material Contract to which either is a party or to which any of their properties or assets is subject or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.5(b), any material Order or material Law applicable to PUBCO or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect.
5
(b) No consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to Seller or PUBCO in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.
3.6. Taxes.
(a) PUBCO or any predecessor entity has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file, any delinquency in filing or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect.
(b) There are no Liens for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of PUBCO. PUBCO is not bound by any agreement with respect to Taxes.
3.7. Benefit Plans. PUBCO does not, and since its inception never has, maintained or contributed to any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not legally binding) providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of PUBCO. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no employment, consulting, indemnification, severance or termination agreements or arrangements between PUBCO and any current or former employee, officer or director of PUBCO, nor does PUBCO have any general severance plan or policy.
3.8. ERISA Compliance; Excess Parachute Payments. PUBCO does not, and since its inception never has, maintained or contributed to any “employee pension benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), “employee welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) or any other benefit plan for the benefit of any current or former employees, consultants, officers or directors of PUBCO.
3.9. Litigation. There is no Action against or affecting PUBCO or any of its properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of either of this Agreement or the PUCO Shares or (b) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect. Neither PUBCO nor any Manager or officer (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

3.10. Compliance with Applicable Laws. PUBCO is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety, the environment, export controls, trade sanctions and embargoes, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect. PUBCO has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that PUBCO is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law.
3.11. Contracts. There are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of PUBCO taken as a whole. PUBCO is not in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a PUBCO Material Adverse Effect.
3.12. Title to Properties. PUBCO has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which PUBCO has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of PUBCO to conduct business as currently conducted. PUBCO has complied in all material respects with the terms of all material leases to which it is a party and under which it is in occupancy, and all such leases are in full force and effect.
